The Shifts and the Shocks is not another detailed history of the crisis, but the most persuasive and complete account yet published of what the crisis should teach us about modern economies and economics. The audiobook identifies the origin of the crisis in the complex interaction between globalization, hugely destabilizing global imbalances and our dangerously fragile financial system.

We have lots of problems

Although I found this book harder to read and understand compared with Thomas Pikettys Capital in the 21st century, it does a good job of explaining realistic approaches to try and solve the worlds economic problems. In large parts its solutions are based on Keynesian growth models and does a good job destroying the myths about why doing nothing to solve financial crises do not work. However as a reader with only an average understanding of financial markets, I found the book at times difficult to understand and boring.
The book has however made me feel depressed as its solutions seem along way from being introduced throughout the world and so instability, violence and turmoil seem likely.

It’s the 1st of June 1914 and Hugh Stanton, ex-soldier and celebrated adventurer is quite literally the loneliest man on earth. No one he has ever known or loved has been born yet. Perhaps now they never will be.Stanton knows that a great and terrible war is coming. A collective suicidal madness that will destroy European civilization and bring misery to millions in the century to come. He knows this because, for him, that century is already history.Somehow he must change that history. He must prevent the war.

An exceptional book and one which should be read by any history student and professor alike. Entertaining while being historically accurate mixed with fascinating characters leaves you unable to unplug the audiobook for any long period of time.
The plot centers around a time travelers sent back to 1914 in order to stop the Great War. Naturally attempts to do this by stopping the assignation of arch duke Franz Ferdinand and by assinating Kieser Wilhelm II do not go as smoothly as planned by the Cambridge elite and its knock on affects gives the reader great pause about how some unlikely events lead to the formation of the world we live in today, when compared to other outcomes.
